Stretch Marks??


Question: Is there anyway to get rid of stretch marks? If so, what?
Answers: No over-the-counter cream or lotion can remove those lines. Stretch marks occur in the middle layer of the skin, called the dermis, and common creams can't reach that far deep. Vitamin E and cocoa butter treatments can make your skin feel soft and supple, but they won't make your skin mark-free. You'll need to talk to a doctor, dermatologist, or plastic surgeon if you want to seriously reduce the lines. Prescription creams containing Tretinoin, also called Retin-A, may help reduce the appearance of fresh stretch marks. These creams should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. This type of treatment will not eliminate stretch marks completely, and it won't work on older marks that have already faded from red. Laser surgery is sometimes used to lessen the severity of stretch marks, but the results are mixed. Microdermabrasion has been somewhat more successful in changing the appearance of stretch marks. Both treatments are expensive and should only be performed by qualified doctors.
Use cocoa butter, every day, on the problem areas.
Do this before stretch marks appear, if possible.
If it is too late, no matter. Keep using it.

The softer and more pliable the skin is, the more likely is will just stretch, and not stretch so far it leaves scarring (stretch marks).
To my knowledge, there are no effective creams, lotions or potions that can effectively get rid of stetch marks. Laser is the only method that has shown consistent results regardless of subject. Lasers can lighten the color of stretch marks, and increase the production of collagen in the dermis to help reduce their depth. Without surgical intervention, this seems to be the best option for both men and women.
Try Maderma. its made for scars but it worked on my stretch marks.(i have six kids) works wonders.
plus, over time they will fade to a silvery-white and be less noticible.
When I was working at a dept store, they sold a cream called Strivectin (it also has some initials after that). I had a woman who had just had twins come and buy it and she said it was great for stretch marks and wrinkles. Its over $100 a tube so I havent tried it, but I saw a tube in CVS with a different name that says it has the same ingredients. Its much cheaper, so maybe its worth a try. That lady swore by the stuff.
yes Cocoa Butter it's old school cause of all tech stuff i would want to know myself but i have been trying cocoa butter and it has helped alittle bit
Skin Activator by Herbalife gets rid of scars!!! It really works and is 100% money back guaranteed :-)
There is no way to get rid of them. There also seems to be no way to prevent them. It all depends on your skin type. If you have soft, elastic skin you will be less likely to get them. I was lucky and I don't have any stretch marks at all even after three children.
My mother got them after her first child, me and still has them to this day. THOUGH, they aren't as red as they were back then. Also, losing weight and toning up helps to make them less noticable.
